Custom built Geo skimmer with dual beckett heads, recirculating loop, 2" gate valve, and key hole flanges.

This skimmer is amazing in raw processing power. I am selling it as a complete unit with Blue Line 100 pump (equivalent to Iwaki 100RLT) and 8" diameter by 12" waste collector/shutoff container.

Asking price is $1200.00 or best offer.

We should use it for the S.L.A.S.H. Hi-C machine. We just need a chiller.

Run some ice water through it and we could have a slushi machine. Which then could be a frozen daiquiri or margarita mix after the meeting.

I'm concerned, Trottster, you look as though you've aged quite a bit since being in this hobby.

Price lowered to $800.00 for the whole shooting match.

Skimmer is in excellent condition.

Auto-shutoff container that holds a LOT of SKIMMATE!

1.5yr old Panworld 100 pump 2000gph.


Someone with a big tank, and I know there are a few of you out there, this would be a serious upgrade to your systems.

How much water can you run through that thing in one hour?

I used an Iwaki 40RLT pump to put about 1000gph through it.

You would want the skimmer to pull water from the same compartment of your sump that that your tank outlet comes from.

I'm not sure what kind of tank outlet/overflow you have, but you wouldn't want to pull straight from it. You would have to pump the exact same amount of water back to the display tank, which is impossible.

The feed for the skimmer is at the mid-section of the skimmer, which is about 3ft up from the base of the skimmer.

If you were dropping water from an upstairs tank to the basement, there would be more than enough pressure to feed the skimmer. This is what Lost Marbles does with his Aquamedic 5000 Twin Turboflotor.

That is what I would be doing then the outlet of the skimmer would go into my sump then back upstairs .
